Seems reasonable.

tree town outside the new venue beach club...........

WOW...fortunate that it did not spill over and involve any tourists or expats.

[petehoax]

damn, that sucks. 

tbh, i was kinda relieved to read that it "only" involved Thai men, and not any tourists or expats... 

[fforest]

the group of men specifically arranged to meet to discuss a possible business dispute 

 

This is a strange story.....Even hardened criminals are mostly smart enough to not do something like this with loads of witness around....Even when Billy Batts made the shine box remark, they waited till everyone left the bar to settle things...

Shocking news and thought at first it might be drunken farang n Thai gangs in the now busiest part of buakow….so was surprised when heard it was an all thai brawl….feel sorry for the poor guy as believe it was a thai mob that set on him…even kicking him wen down and stabbing him.

Wonder if it’s a loan shark or protection racket..security fall out dispute…as usual the attackers have run away…only hope they are caught asap.

Bet TTown will be lot quieter with bars closed next few days with a police presence….prob will speed up bar closures now too??

I hope this isn’t the new normal given current financial stress everyone is under.

Oh no, you missed the scoop ........."out of "an abundance of caution"  ?    

[Tchiowa]

Good Lord!

I certainly hope the deceased had sufficient life insurance....

Now I know what happened.

My date and another couple were on our way there last night when we witnessed police presence and paramedics administering CPR to an individual.  
 

We immediately did a U-turn.  We thought it may of been a drowning or heart attack.

Maybe he refused to take a covid test. (Bad taste joke, sorry).

[Thanks]

I don’t think you would be all laughing n joking if instead it was a farang set upon and murdered by a thai gang?? 
The weird and wonderful online are still a aplenty I guess.

Why no AED (Automated External Debfibrillator) on board the ambulance?

Apparently it's security guards of Pattaya Beach Club  that are involved.

And it's everywhere on national news.

The kind of spotlight the so-called "restaurants" didn't need the day before an important CCSA meeting. 

Hopefully no consequences.

I Don’t know anymore than anyone else.....

But the old clubland saying “of control the door........” etc

springs to mind....

hope it is a one off...and the end of it...

Apparently this is all to do with dispute between which security guards patrol certain areas, but they are all employed by the same company. So can only assume someone was encroaching on someone else's back handers. Otherwise makes no sense.

Hmm, seems a typical cowardly attack, multiple persons v one, multiple kicks and stamps to his head once he is already out cold on his back, his life trickling away. Hopefully heavy prison sentences all round.
